Method:
Take a larger onion and chop it finely. Heat the oil in a pan and fry the onion until golden. Add finely chopped or pressed garlic, chopped ginger and roast it lightly. Then add sliced carrots, rinsed lentils and pour over vegetable broth. Cook the soup on medium heat for about 20 minutes until the carrots are completely soft. Once you’re done, take an immersion blender and blend the whole soup until smooth.
Then add curry spice, turmeric, salt, black pepper, chilli and cream. Cook the soup for a short time and then remove it from the stove. Finally, finish it with fresh lemon juice, and that’s it. Before serving, you can sprinkle the soup with sprouts or herbs. It goes well with coriander or parsley. And of course, don’t forget about a drop of cream (plant-based if you’re a vegan) or olive oil.
Our tip: If you want to get even more exotic taste in the soup, instead of cream, you can add coconut milk.
